He did what expected although I was a little bit concerned on the home turn,. He's a very good horse and potentially a very good over hurdles. He'll have one more run over hurdles and if we're happy enough with that he'll go to Cheltenham for one of the novices. Whether it's the two-mile or two-mile five we will decide nearer to the time. Trip doesn't worry him. He won a bumper over 2m3f and also won over 1m6f on the Flat. He does stay very well. He's a very laid back individual and always has gears - which is the sign of a really good horse. He's a total natural and a stronger horse this year. He has always jumped super and is a very athletic individual. I'm fully aware of the excellence of Dunguib. Lets see where we go. He's very good, so hopefully he stays sound and we have alot of fun with him. D K Weld, trainer
